NCS (Nerve Conduction Study)
NCS (Nerve Conduction Study) at Dr. K V Ramarao Hospital
At Dr. K V Ramarao Hospital, we provide NCS (Nerve Conduction Study) as an essential neurological diagnostic test to evaluate nerve function and detect abnormalities in the peripheral nervous system. Under the expertise of Dr. Sudanagunta Venkatesh, a leading Consultant Neurologist, our advanced NCS services help diagnose and manage neuromuscular and nerve-related conditions with accuracy and efficiency.
What is NCS (Nerve Conduction Study)?
NCS is a non-invasive test that measures how well electrical signals travel through the nerves. It helps in detecting nerve damage and assessing muscle and nerve function to diagnose various neurological disorders.
Conditions Diagnosed with NCS
- Peripheral Neuropathy – Nerve damage due to diabetes, infections, or autoimmune diseases.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Compression of the median nerve causing hand numbness and pain.
- Radiculopathy – Nerve root compression in the spine leading to pain and weakness.
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome – An autoimmune disorder affecting nerve conduction.
- Myasthenia Gravis – A neuromuscular condition causing muscle weakness.
- Nerve Injuries – Identifying nerve damage due to trauma or accidents.
- Motor Neuron Diseases (MND) – Disorders like ALS affecting nerve function.
- Chronic Pain & Weakness – Assessing unexplained nerve-related pain and mobility issues.
How is an NCS Test Performed?
- Electrode Placement – Small electrodes are attached to the skin near the nerve being tested.
- Mild Electrical Stimulation – A small electrical impulse is sent through the nerve.
- Recording the Response – The speed and strength of nerve signals are measured.
- Diagnosis & Interpretation – Dr. Sudanagunta Venkatesh analyzes the results for accurate diagnosis.
